While it's generally easy enough to find a discount on the standard PS4, the same isn't necessarily true for the more powerful PlayStation 4 Pro. Since it's a relatively recent console, price drops have been few and far between, but if you've been holding out on buying one in the hopes that you'll find it on the cheap, now is your chance. Target has started a new promotion on the PlayStation 4 Pro, and it nearly brings the console down to the price of a standard PlayStation 4.

When most of us think of e-ink devices, we probably think of something small like one of Amazon's Kindles. Sony took a different approach with its DPT-RP1 tablet, which features a display as large as a standard sheet of A4 paper and is meant for more than reading eBooks. This tablet was instead meant for the professional world, targeting occupations that handle a large number of documents, such as lawyers or doctors.

Sony promised us an incredible smartphone camera, and the Xperia XZ2 Premium is the device it's wrapped up in. The newest model of the company's 2018 range, the XZ2 Premium is the first to feature Sony's Motion Eye Dual camera system. Previewed at Mobile World Congress just a few months ago, it has some serious low-light talents.

While God of War 3 did a lot to neatly wrap up the original trilogy, it seems that Sony wasn't quite finished with one of its marquee franchises. Deep down, we all probably knew that God of War would be returning one day, but few of us probably expected to return like this. Instead of continuing the exploits of Kratos in Ancient Greece, this year's God of War serves as something of a soft reboot for the series, placing our fiery protagonist in a Norse setting.

Both the Sony Xperia XZ2 and the Xperia XZ2 Compact were announced to be coming to the United States this month. These devices are Sony's big releases in the smartphone market this year, and both are not to be missed. These devices roll with Sony's newest "ambient flow" design language in their overall look and feel.

The FTC brought out the rule hammer this week in a letter to 6 companies about their stickers. Those stickers you've got on the insides of your smartphone and the outside of your gaming console - the ones you're not supposed to remove. Yeah, those are illegal. This isn't a new ruling by the FTC, it's a warning from the FTC to companies under their jurisdiction that these stickers are not enforceable.

The Sony PlayStation 5 (PS5) might exist at some point, but for now - it's at least a couple years off. This information comes from a report that speaks with industry insiders who, in turn, suggest that there's no real news to be told. It's sort of like a non-report - or maybe a better comparison to make would be to a scientific study that proves a theory incorrect.

The iPhone X and the Razer Phone have one thing in common despite being worlds apart. Both have the ability to run the screen at a refresh rate of 120 Hz. Apple markets this feature for responsiveness. Razer puts it at the service of fluid gaming visuals. Either way, it seems that it’s a rather niche feature that very few phone makers would bother with. It turns out, however, that Sony has had phones capable of that since 2016. You just can’t, and probably shouldn’t, enable it easily.

We've been waiting for Insomniac's Spider-Man title for a long time, and today we're finally finding out when it will arrive. Today, Sony and Insomniac announced a release date for the PS4-exclusive game, nearly two years after it was first announced. Not only that, but the two companies also revealed the various special editions that will be available at release.

Huawei may have made a big splash with its P20 and P20 Pro flagships, but that has fallen on deaf ears in the US where the phones won’t be sold, even through retailers. Sony, however, isn’t as rebellious. It is still snubbing US carriers but it is making its latest jewels available through other means. Pre-orders for the Xperia XZ2 and XZ2 Compact have begun on B&H Photo and, somewhat thankfully, they aren’t so overpriced this time.

Virtual reality can be an expensive hobby to get into, but over time, we've been seeing the cost of VR headsets drop. Both the HTC VIVE and the Oculus Rift have seen significant price drops in recent months, and now it's PlayStation VR's turn. Sony has announced that two PSVR bundles will be getting permanent price drops tomorrow, making this a pretty good time to dive in if you've been waiting for a discount to kick in.

The recently announced Sony A8F 4K HDR OLED television is now available to preorder, and that gives us a price for the model: $2,799.99 USD. That's not cheap, though we didn't expect it to be. There's a lot to like about this TV, not the least of which is its gorgeous, crisp OLED display and X1 Extreme processor. The combination of the two makes it possible to watch high-quality Ultra HD content that features "ultra-detailed pictures," says Sony.
